Mazda6 getting a turbo

[KeithP]

There have been rumors about the Mazda6 getting the turbocharged 2.5L from the CX-9 and it finally is happening.

I just wish that same engine would be available in the CX-5.

Are they bringing back the Mazdaspeed edition? Can we get it with AWD and 6spd manual please Mazda?

Probably not, but that would be pretty awesome...

Still no android/apple connect support in the head unit. /cry

I'd be curious to see the mileage it gets with 2.5T engine. Also a bit disappointing about no refreshes to exterior. Mazda's coupe and kai concepts were absolutely gorgeous, I would have loved to see that design language incorporated into production models.

Good. Best looking and handling car in the segment. Now it will have the zoom zoom under the hood too.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Neat.

I will miss V >4s.

Jesus, finally. Now give it a wagon. And bring back the Speed3. I'm about ready for a semi-practical 2nd car and would be nice if they could up the ante by offering something more compelling.

Edit: And offer the turbo in the 3 and CX5.

the exterior got a refresh

2.5T in 3 would be overkill without AWD. Personally I'd settle for a Mazda3HB with 2.5 SkyActive-X engine. I don't need to be the fastest on the block, but if 2.5X can do ~215hp with much improved economy, that would be the sweet spot for me.

Barely, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart if you're not familiar with the car already.

2.5T in the 3 would make it a Civic Type R, basically.

damn. c'mon Mazda. I know you're a smaller car maker, but shit like this is just laziness. How hard is it to include Andoid Auto in your software update?
Also bummed that they won't offer a manual with the 2.5T. Excited to see this compared to the Accord 2.0T manual

edit. found this

Too bad too, looks like a good design. No way I would buy a 2017 / 2018 car without Android Auto at this point though.

 

[Aharami]

honestly, I think the accord interior looks better than the mazda6 now

 

[Aharami]

the mazda6 will have vastly better seats though. That's for sure. I can't wait to test drive these two back to back next year!

 

[A5]

Yeah, they're both really nice. Will be some fun comparison tests, I think.
